"There is a new wave of change all around us and if we set our compass true, we will reach our destination - not merely victory for our party, but renewal for our nation. And this November, the torch will be passed again to a new generation of Americans."

"So with Barack Obama, and for you and for me, our country will be committed to his cause."

"The work begins anew, the hope rises again, and the dream lives on."

Michelle Obama
